MONDAY - MARCH 1, 2010

     Hey guys!  Instead of writing our essay on the French Revolution today, we worked a little more on how to develop good thesis statements.  To do this, we first observed a PowerPoint on thesis statements.
    
     After this, we analyzed thesis statements on a worksheet, and redeveloped our French Revolution thesis statement.  If you were absent, click on the link below and follow the directions:
